Summary
He stretches his legs, presses his feet to the floor. He still can’t feel the ground beneath him.
There’s nothing, no tingling in his toes, no cold seeping into his bones. It’s like his feet don’t belong to him anymore, like they’re someone else’s.
Even if he could control his lower legs without pain or exertion again, even if he got his range of motion back, he still wouldn’t be able to race.
Or, Max tries to deal with the aftermath of a career-ending crash. He isn’t sure who he is beyond Max Verstappen, Formula One World Champion.

Summary
"He’s a damn child. He doesn’t know what the fuck he’s talking about,” Jos spits, stabbing a finger at the conference table like it’s Charles himself.
Max sits, arms crossed, one knee bouncing under the table, eyes fixed somewhere in the middle distance.
Max Verstappen has spent his life fighting. For wins, for titles. Now, with two world championships under his belt, he’s fighting for his third against a new rival: rookie prodigy Charles Leclerc.

Summary
Charles says nothing as he picks up his drink. He holds it in his mouth for a moment, looking the man up and down. He can’t tell much about what he does for work, which is unusual. There aren’t a lot of options in a place like Monaco.
But with tattoos like that, Charles has a feeling he’s not the usual businessman.
“I’m Charles,” he says, once he swallows.
“I’m aware. I was the one who let you in.”
Charles raises a brow. “Ah, the mysterious boss. Do you have a name?”
// Charles is a Formula 1 driver. Max is a mafia boss.

Summary
Some insane thing between his ribs with teeth in his heart whines and writhes and says that, if Max does good enough, Charles will love him. It’s a shocking, jarring thought that Max hasn’t let breathe in case it stole all of the air from his lungs. He knows it’s impossible. Even the idea of that love is so far beyond what he deserves, but Charles being his friend has never been enough.
Maybe he shouldn’t have said that, back in Austin. We’re friends, right? Maybe the notion that this could ever be something more wouldn’t feel so hopeless if he hadn’t foolishly stuck a label on whatever this was. All he’d known was that he needed something. He’d craved some sort of value in Charles’ mind, wanted to be something more than just a good handful of fucks. Friendship held the promise of after, he’d decided, even if it wasn’t the type of after he wanted.

Summary
The sight makes Max laugh again, even harder, until he’s breathless. His hands are still against Charles, but they’re both leaning in now, foreheads bumping together in a way that would probably be painful if Max could feel anything right now.
“This is insane,” he breathes.
“What is?”
Max isn’t sure. This conversation. This entire night. The last few weeks that they’ve spent accidentally ending up in all the same places.
“I thought you were gonna hit me,” he says, instead of answering. “That last time? In the coffee shop, y’know.”
“Were you hoping that I would?"
Max doesn’t know how to explain that he’s been waiting to feel the impact for twenty years.
-
Or: Charles can't stop running, Max wants to disappear, and fate is not done with these two yet.

Summary
Max can do it. If he confessed with so much certainty, it must be because he already knew what love was, maybe didn’t even need to search for it on the Internet. The thought of Max being better at him on this, too, doesn’t sound right—he can outdo him.
Fine. A pet project, for the winter break: Charles Leclerc will learn how to love.or:
Max confesses. Charles thinks about love and loads his gun.

Summary
Rapid fire thoughts in French pour into his head, each more hysterical sounding than the last. He recognizes “merde”, “putain”, and “pensée” and that’s it. Unhelpful.
“Charles,” he murmurs, slightly apologetic, “French.”
Charles’ eyes get even bigger, his eyebrows shooting up to his hairline. He makes a noise that if Max were a slightly less merciful person he would call a squeak. Watching him make the absolutely unhinged connection in real time is fascinating. Then carefully, in tentative English, You are hearing my thoughts?
Miserable, Max nods. Then shrugs. Fuck.
“Max,” Charles practically hisses, his grip on Max’s hand going tighter. The pinprick of his nails feels like the only thing connecting Max to the earth. “What the fuck?”
*
Or, the year Max turns thirty, he spends about a month mid-season being able to read minds via physical touch. Charles is there too.

Summary
When Max Verstappen signs up for Velvet Vein, a vampire-designed dating app, he’s only looking for a thrill, a distraction, a joke to tell his friends. But what he finds is Charles Leclerc: a centuries-old vampire who tastes like danger, sin, and something Max shouldn’t want but craves all the same. Their connection builds slow and sharp, a simmering blend of hunger, seduction, and emotional unraveling. As their nights deepen into shared blood, filthy whispers, and the rawest forms of intimacy, Max realizes he’s no longer sure who’s the predator, and who’s the prey.

Summary
Charles is an ex-model currently in the process of composing his own music - a dream of his since he was a little boy. A week before his first single is due to be released, he decides to book a last-minute, week-long vacation to Bora Bora.
Max is a Formula 1 driver and a five-time world champion. But with his career now dwindling and two years having passed since his last race win, he has no idea what to do next. During the winter break, he decides to book a last-minute, week-long vacation to Bora Bora.
Charles and Max are also ex-husbands who haven't seen each other in six years since their very public and very messy divorce. Now, they find themselves 15,711km from home and the only single people in one of the most romantic destinations in the world. Hurt and pain are strongest where there once was love and being back on this paradise island, with all its memories, might set sparks flying in more ways than one.

They’ve been soulmates since they were five.
They’ve been mortal enemies since they could swear.
And now they’re civilised rivals, obviously.
Or at least that’s what Max keeps telling himself while covered in glitter, shirtless, and losing yet another argument to a very drunk Charles Leclerc armed with paintbrushes and zero shame.Bookmarked by thedevilwithin

“You know,” Charles started with a laugh, “if Red Bull are as fucked as you say they are, maybe you should just come with me.”

“With you?” he asked.
“To Ferrari, of course.”

Oscar keeps getting things. A Ferrari bracelet. An old MCL35 cap. A padel racket that reeks of Sainz. He doesn’t want to talk about it. He doesn’t want Carlos to be his soulmate. But the universe is persistent, and Oscar is running out of places to hide the evidence.

Summary
Max has a problem.
And that problem is Charles Leclerc. Sweet, sunny, casually-touchy, infuriatingly pretty Charles Leclerc. They’re best friends and while Max is painfully in love, Charles is painfully oblivious. They study together. They drink too much coffee. Charles touches his hands and Max forgets how to breathe.
It’s all very normal. It’s fine. Max is fine. (He’s not.)
Or, how to survive having your crush wear your hoodie — a study by Max Verstappen.

Summary
Max Verstappen is a lot of things: fast, focused, ferocious. But feelings? Feelings have always been trickier.
So he does what any emotionally constipated thirteen year old would do: he starts a list.
And The List grows. Through karting, into Formula 1, across podiums and seasons and stolen glances. A hundred quiet observations of the boy who glows brighter than Monaco in July.
It’s just for Max. No one ever has to know.
Until Charles finds it.
Or, a decades-long pining spiral, Oscar Piastri as the hero of the story, and the quiet ache of being known—truly, entirely—by the person who matters most.
